Ophelia lay on Five's bed as he stood next to her writing on his walls some equations that were supposed to save the world. "Is it normal to have this much of a headache after?"

She had an ice pack on her head and looked half dead to anyone who walked in, "Yeah it's your first time, probably could've eased you into it"

"Oh I think I got something" Five announced taking a step back and falling on top of Ophelia "Agh sorry"

"It's... fine" Ophelia struggled against the boy on top of her.

"Am I interrupting something?" Luther asked walking in and seeing both the equations and the position the two were in. "What is all this?"

"That's a probability map" Five informed standing up quickly to admire his equations.

"Probability of what?" Luther asked.

"Of whose death could save the world" Five told him, "I've narrowed it down to four"

"Are you saying one of these four people causes the apocalypse?" Luther asked.

"No silly if one of these people dies the apocalypse won't happen" Ophelia chuckled, "and they say I'm the dumb one" she scoffed.

"She's exactly right, and no one says your dumb?" Five wondered looking at the girl.

"No I thought that" she explained making him go to say something but decided against it.

"I'm not following" Luther said earning a wink from Ophelia with her mouthing 'me neither just pretend'

"Time is fickle, Luther, the slightest alteration in events can lead to massively different outcomes in the time continuum" Five explained.

"massively different" Ophelia repeated nodding vigorously.

"The butterfly effect, so all I have to do is find the people with the greatest probability of impacting the timeline wherever they may be and kill them"

"Milton Green, so who's he like a terrorist or something" Luther asked.

"I believe he's a gardener"

Luther whipped his head round to his brother with a bewildered look on his face, "You can't be serious"

"as serious as a doctor telling you your gonna die" Ophelia shrugged.

"This is madness Fi- do you really condone this Phelia?" Luther asked.

"Five promised me something, he can't keep it if we all die right?" she said looking to Five who smiled at her and nodded.

"She is exactly right" he pointed and pulled out a large bag from under his bed. Inside was a sniper and he got it out and started to check it out.

"Where'd you get that?" Luther asked.

"Dad's room, said he killed a rhinoceros with it once" Five explained.

"But you can't- this guy Milton is just an innocent man" Luther panicked.

"It's basic math" Five sighed, "His death could potentially save the lives of billions"

"And your... sure your okay with that?" Luther said looking to Ophelia once again who sat up and looked to him.

"No Luther I'm not but if it means the whole world gets to live then I'm pretty sure I can live with it on my conscience" She explained getting up and handing the ice pack to him.
